Mansi anchors the Lohia wedding!!

Mansi Verma has mastered the art of being a good anchor person. Lately, the actor got rave reviews at the Sonu Nigam show abroad for having done a good job of an emcee, after which she also got a chance to anchor Laxmi Mittal's niece's wedding for the Lohia family in Bali. "I anchored the event for which Shiamak Davar and Sukhvinder Singh were performing. And they liked my work so much that they asked me to anchor the Mehendi ceremony as well. The experience was mind blowing and Bali is a chilled out place and. It has a Goan feel to it," smiles Mansi who was last seen in CID special bureau. The actor is gearing up for an episodic in Akela where she plays a theatre actor. But as for now, the actor is busy anchoring shows, taking a break to look out for interesting work and gyming endlessly to keep in shape. Pracheen's spiritual side! The crowd went into a tizzy when Rajeev Khandelwal, the handsome Captain Rajveer of Left Right Left hosted the Navy Queen Ball recently. The suave actor was at his wittiest best and kept the audiences in splits for a long time. He flattered the beauty pageant contestants and stole many a hearts. The actor added, "My father's in the army and have grown watching the army officers in all there finery on such special occasions and know exactly how it feels to belong to the defence services. I love the audience and the beautiful girls out here," chirps Rajeev gleefully who came dressed in black suit. Much for the actor who has had a defense background, playing an army officer and now getting to host the Navy Ball. Pracheen's spiritual side! Pracheen Chauhan is one helluva religious actor who has been visiting Shirdi every year for seeking the blessings of almighty. The actor has been going to Shirdi (Nasik) every year on 1 January to pray for good work and life. " Yes, for the past three years I've been going to Shirdi and this year also if I don't have a lot of work then I'd like to go to Nasik. I stay there for a day and feel at peace and seek solace out there. Monaz had work so she couldn't accompany the last two times," smiles the actor. Pracheen is currently doing Sindoor and looking out for meatier roles and was last also seen in Twinkle Beauty Parlour. Here's hoping this religious actor gets what he has been praying for so long. Resham Dankh bites the dust Resham Dankh which started off as an interesting thriller and gradually went askew, is going off air from today. According to some sources, the downfall of this show was caused by the production house's (Hats Off) preference for Gujju actors that made them veer from the original storyline and give importance and more screen time to Gujju actors like Rajiv Mehta, Dimple Shah and relatively unknown actors which the viewers could not relate to. In the current track, popular and main lead stars like Raahil Azam and Moulli Ganguly were sidelined and this did not go down well with the home audience. When confronted, Aatish Kapadia refuted the charges, saying, "I am often accused of this which is the most ridiculous, insidious and nepotistic accusation ever. For your info, Vandana Pathak and Supriya Pathak (Khichdi) are not Gujaratis but Maharashtrians, Rajesh Kumar and Rupali Ganguly are a Bihari and a Bengali, respectively; Sumeet Raghavan is a South Indian (all of them from Sarabhai vs Sarabhai). And to say we cast Satish Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah because they are Gujjus would be an insult to their talent." Aatish goes on to add, " Yes, I have a strong bias towards stage actors and I keep approaching serious stage actors, be it Gujarati or Marathi because they know the nuances of fine acting and perfectly understand the undercurrents of my storyline. Though unfortunately, I do agree that the sub-plotting had meandered too far from the original story and it is now difficult to come to any logical ending in relation to the original." The reason for the untimely and premature clobber of the serial is because the track had swerved to such an extent that even the main child protagonist around whom the story was based could not be brought back. The serial ends abruptly today, focusing on one of the chawl residents.
